For Biden to truly flourish Bloomberg has to collapse

[DemocratSinceBirth]

That is all.

1. I would love it if Bloomberg took over Biden's messaging team.

And then the entire party's messaging team.

Because Biden is just not getting the messaging done, and Bloomberg is.

4. If Biden is the nominee, I assume that he will accept Bloomberg's help.

I believe only Sanders has refused Bloomberg's offer to help, which is even more reason to not vote for the man.

5. Also, if Bloomberg got a sizable number of delegates, couldn't

he release them to Biden at the nomination?

[W_HAMILTON]

8. Yes, which I imagine is what will happen if no candidate gets a majority of delegates outright.

[Squinch]

7. I'm sure. But sooner would be better. If Biden does well in SC, I hope Bloomberg throws his

support to Biden for Super Tuesday.

I could happily vote for either of them (or Amy or Liz), but I like Biden's numbers in the swing states, and I think he'd be easier for BS's people to get behind.

14. Agree, Bloomberg's team will assist the Biden camp to defeat the Idiot

Yes the Biden camp does need help. Most of that i believe is because they're short on funding.

9. Biden has some great ads

but he doesn't have the money to air them enough on television. His ads are some of the best I've seen, but if other people don't see them, it doesn't help.

[Squinch]

10. And I think Bloomberg is holding some of the social media space that Democrats had

ceded to republicans before he came along.

13. I saw my first Biden ad three days ago

I live in north central TX, and we've been swamped with Bloomberg ads over the past three to four weeks, with Stayer coming in a distant second in that regard. First Sanders ad was last week, and first Biden ad Wed morning.


I don't have have cable and am limited to over-the-air networks where (I'm guessing) the ad buys are more expensive and have to be apportioned in more strategic, long-term tactic.

(the Biden ad I saw (finally) was a VO of Pres Obama lauding his accomplishments as both a partner in the administration as well as a good man)

2. Bloomberg doesn't have to worry about anxious donors.

He's said he isn't getting out of the race until the nomination. He and Joe may end up attacking each other, but that hasn't happened yet. The media is punching Bloomberg and propping up Joe right now, and that hurt Bloomberg in polls somewhat, but we can't know the effect of that yet because of early voting.

[Peacetrain]

6. Maybe he will...but for some reason, and I have no evidence to prove it

but just a gut feeling.. I think he could possibly see that splitting the same vote will get us nothing. He is a plotter and planner after all and I think he would step back if he sees the win is possible with Joe

3. Frustrating to keep seeing Biden and Bloomberg at near 50% combined

And Bernie at 30% with headline: Bernie leading pack.

[FloridaBlues]

11. Seems like mike has been hurting Biden. So tired of seeing his ads and today got a mailer from Bloom

Don't Bloomberg stepping aside anytime soon.

12. Bloomberg would rather have Bernie as the nominee--for whatever reason. I believe he is

committed to progress on climate change and might believe if he doesn’t get in and Bernie does, Bernie can effect his plan to save the planet. That would be motivation to hang in.
